Roll some ganja up with the Jet Life boss.

The High Holy Day is here again and stoned souls everywhere are celebrating by putting more than their usual dosag of weed in the air. Whether you'll be doing so while laying back getting cozy on the couch or hitting the highway (get it?) to cruise around, VIBE assembled a soundtrack for you to get lit to.

What originally started out as a smoke friendly play list eventually evolve into a list comprised of Curren$y's 25 best tracks to smoke to. You can't be mad—what better artist to have representing weed culture on this great day then Spitta Andretti?

If you know like we know, Curren$y's super high output makes this a slightly difficult list to put together. This was in no way an easy task but we did the hard work so all you have to do is sit back or buckle up, turn the volume up a notch get cloudy with us.

25) Smoke Break

Of course this Alchemist produced gem is the way to go when you're looking to set the playlist off properly. Funny thing is Spitta doesn't seem to take breaks, just smokes while he's being productive. You're allowed a break though. In fact, can we get a moment of silence for this small chronic break? Word to Uncle Snoop.

Sure he raps a lot about weed but Curren$y raps almost equally about his cars as a symbol of his hard work. It's a great mix that showcases his dreams materialized. One thing is for sure, Curren$y is probably Top 3 most prolific rappers in the game right now if you judge off releases. Meditate on that while you burn one lil' homie.

22)Grand Theft Auto"GTA" just dropped yesterday off that Bourbon Street Secrets collaboration with 808 Mafia's Purps and already it's sounding like a classic. Curren$y made it a point to carve out a smokey, laid back lane that has allowed crafting songs like this one to become second nature to him.

21) Hold OnRapping about his lifestyle and the idiosyncrasies of being a pothead is what has attracted fans by the droves to Spitta since he first breathed a lungful of smoke on the mic. This song embodies rapping about what you know as he asks for a quick time out to find something to roll up on.

20) Audio Dope 3This is full on grind music, but also applicable on a day like today where the Mary Jane intake will be a little higher than normal. The keys rile you up a bit but still sound soothing enough to light one up to.

19) WinningYou know when you're Wiz Khalifa's OG you must burn a shit ton of marijuana to be qualified as such. Wiz has always credited Spitta for being a major influence on his style. They lament the hate in the game over a groovy beat made for cruising. So why are you still sober?

18) Just Might BeSoulful samples are always good for kicking back and this one is no different. Instead of making weak attempts to crossover, Curren$y continues to give his pothead constituents exactly what they've come to expect from him. it's a formula that has been working for him since he left Young Money is 2007.

17) Drive By

Put your seats all the way back and roll those windows up all the way. With Future Hendrix in tow, Andretti gets lifted like some Lamborghini doors while watching the world pass from his car window. He invites you to join him, no RSVP required.

16) ContactsWith Jet Life signee Trademark in attendance as well as affiliate Fiend, this song may sound like your average smokers' hymn but it's actually well put together laced with a Superfly sample to bring in the beat properly. Curren$y doesn't get enough credit for having a consistent ear for good beats.

14) Audio Dope 5The latest in a medley of "Audio Dope" editions, this song has turned into a franchise of sorts for Curren$y at this point. It must be a metaphor he relates to quite a bit— that of an audio drug dealer moving his sound the way kingpins move drugs. His following is so dedicated they almost seem literally addicted to his brand of audio dope.

13) Drug Prescription

Not one to shy away from drug talk if it's being done metaphorically, Curren$y plays a more convincing hustler than most of his counterparts who insist on bragging about the streets but have very little to show as proof for the work they've allegedly put in.

It's highly commendable how Curren$y reaches out to OGs like Styles P regularly (not to mention reaching out to Juvenile, Jadakiss, Noreaga and Devin The Dude on other songs) to bless his his joints with some NY Sour Diesel. It's a smoky groove that Styles P blesses perfectly and stoners are sure to have had a repeat since it was released.

Revisiting the showroom theme with a more somber sound to lament the loss of Lil Snupe, Spitta can even make mourning a young comrade good music to get high too. So what are you waiting on? Set fire to that cone an don't be scared to shed a thug tear.

When Alchemist is in the house you know the results will not be disappointing in the least. Off their fairly new Carrollton Heist project this track is a high key ode to the high life and the spoils that come with it.

9) Godfather 4Joined by Action Bronson and a haunting string section, Spitta sounds dead serious as he raps bars about the shipments of audio dope he's breaking down and putting into the streets. It's not easy to rarely deviate from subject matter and still sound fresh every time out.

It's not just about smoking remember? Keep those conversations with your team about the moves you need to make going until the tasks are executed. If you're unclear how to do that, just heed the words in this song and get to plotting on a come up.

So pimpish he makes the"Lufthansa heist look like amateur night." That's saying a lot but after dropping a $100 album last year you suddenly see he wasn't pulling your chain at all. Remind me why this kid is still rarely on the radio again?

5) Scottie Pippen

Fuck riding the beat, Spitta parallel parks on this beat. Enlisting Freddie Gibbs to assist him like Scottie assisted MJ, the eeriness Alchemist helmed for them to rap over does not go to waste. I wouldn't be mad if I never heard Andretti on any other producers' beats from here on in, except for maybe an occasional Cardo beat. And a sprinkling form Thelonious Martin.

4)Address

You can almost see the rooftop he describes complete with a pool and idling babes waiting to hit the weed and do some hardcore chilling. This one sounds good in the car or on the sofa or even on your headphones while you walk through your city letting that smoke drift from hour nostrils. Just keep an eye out for them people.

A weird, futuristic sonic backdrop like this would not have complimented many rappers style of rap. Of course guess who sounds like butter on it? You guessed it.

2)Flying Iron

My God. The video is innovative (if you're into Golgo13) as is the track itself, sampling Menahan Street Band]. The end result is something to drive through your city with at high volumes or parlay with on the couch at low volumes. Curren$y and Fiend trade verses about their main bitch over a jazzy horn that just won't quit.

This is it right here... the weed gospel. Tailor made for early risers who get high so early that by the time people start emailing them they're in grind mode and sober. If there's any lesson to learn from Uncle Spitta, the takeaway would most definitely be: "Get high but get your shit done."
